MartinF's Raven Sport Tour
jul:
Old school style combined with a modern rohloff transmission..
Well done !
macspud:
What is that that I spy on the rear rack mount in the third pic?
martinf:
Address plate.
Used to be mandatory here in France.
A relic from the days when cyclists had to pay a yearly tax on their bikes. The tax was abolished in 1959 and the address plate became facultative in 1995.
I still fit them to the family bikes, with the hope that if a bike is stolen by a casual thief and then abandoned I might get it back.
Neil Jones:
Superb build Martin, love your setup.
You did well to get the XTR brakes, they go for ridiculous money secondhand.
I bought my RST with flat bars although if I was to buy again I'd spec drops now. Looking forward to hearing how it rides
Best,
Neil

I originally planned on getting a more basic model of brake, but the mechanic I know at the LBS had had the XTR en stock for a few years, he persuaded me to buy the front and rear set for 50 euros.
There was a posting on the forum recently about the need for a special washer when fitting the Rohloff cable hanger to XTR, so I wasn't caught out with that during the build.
